This compact rack‑mount converter is designed to make the transition from baseband video to IP both simple and reliable for professional broadcast facilities. It allows existing SDI equipment to connect directly to modern 100G Ethernet SMPTE‑2110 networks without redesigning the entire signal chain. By combining high channel density with full redundancy, it provides a practical upgrade path for studios, OB trucks and central equipment rooms.
The unit performs simultaneous bidirectional conversion, handling eight independent 12G‑SDI channels to SMPTE‑2110 IP while at the same time converting eight IP channels back to 12G‑SDI. This results in sixteen channels of real‑time conversion in a single 1RU device, dramatically reducing rack space and cabling complexity. SDI connections automatically switch between SD, HD and Ultra HD formats, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of broadcast equipment.
To meet the reliability demands of live production, the IP side features dual 100G Ethernet ports with full SMPTE‑2022‑7 seamless protection switching. Identical video and audio streams are transmitted across two independent network paths, allowing the system to reconstruct perfect frames from whichever packets arrive first. This process is fully automatic and occurs in real time, eliminating dropped frames or audio glitches even during network faults. For optimal resilience, the redundant ports can be connected to separate Ethernet switches.
Control and integration are equally robust. A dedicated NMOS Ethernet port enables modern IP routing and device management, making it easy to integrate into larger SMPTE‑2110 installations. Dual redundant AC power supplies further enhance operational security, ensuring continuous operation in critical broadcast environments. The 1RU chassis is engineered for professional racks, helping to reduce clutter and improve airflow in dense installations.
By acting as a clean breakout between SDI and IP domains, this converter simplifies system expansion, cable management and future upgrades. It is especially well suited for pairing with IP‑native switchers, recorders and network storage, providing a smooth and dependable bridge between established workflows and next‑generation broadcast technology.

In law there is always another way
Format: Kindle
I finished this book having completed all but one course for my law degree. It is a goldmine of techniques and outlines the modus operandi of how Judges and Lawyers ideally operate.

Needs to be more concise to weed out extraneous crap in your arguments
Format: Paperback
It’s very wordy and could be a lot more concise and be even more effective. “Getting to maybe” is not an exercise in dissertations but finding the right points to create an effective argument. There are better resources out there.

This book made me angry
Format: Paperback
I was excited about this book. Many law-related blogs and forums highly recommended this book. It's a "must read" for law students, they said.
I was angry when I read the introduction. I was angrier when I began reading the chapters. What happened to brevity? Law students are already swamped with course readings. Why write a book intended to be read by law students in such a long and voluminous way? Much of the text can be removed.
"Get to the point," I found myself telling the author as I read page after page. I hated it. It is the rare law student who will pick up this book for its narrative value. The typical law student will pick this book for its value on navigating through law school exams, not for its story-telling. Yet that student will be left disappointed.
I wish the author would have considered writing a "Get to the Point" book, which would serve as a shorter version of 'Getting to Maybe.' Perhaps it is not too late. "Get to the Point" could serve as an alternative or accompanying version, maybe? I ask that the author considers this.
